How do I know once things are reamed? 471686[/snapback] They're talking about when you buy some aftermarket a-arms that either have straight shank or different taper shank ball joints, that wont work with the stock ball joint taper in the steering knuckles. You have to ream them out with a provided reamer to match so they will work. On a tapered reamer, its easy to fuck up because if you go too deep, thats it.

Lepew Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 From some info I was fed, on the older aftermarket a-arms ball joints were limited to what was available which would fit a Honda spindle but not a Yamaha. Hondas taper is the same as Yamahas just bigger. You would just run a taperered reamer into the yamaha spindle til it was big enough to fit the ball joint stud. With the new ball joints out there available you no longer need to modify your spindles to fit aftermarket ball joints. There is more to ball joints that I do know if you are in the market for a-arms that I would share. If anyone wants to correct my info feel free I wasn't in the atv world during the reaming days.
